E-Invoicing in Sweden

E-invoicing process description

Contracting authorities and units in Sweden must be able to accommodate e-invoices in Peppol BIS Billing version 3.0, which follows the European standard EN 16931. 

The required steps include:

• Connecting to the Peppol Network: Customers must partner with a Peppol-accredited service provider, such as Comarch, to receive electronic invoices.
• Registering a Peppol ID: Since March 3, 2025, customers are required to register their Peppol ID with the Swedish Customs Authority via the e-services section on their website.

While the transition to Peppol invoices is underway, the Swedish Customs Authority will continue to offer customs bills in PDF format through its website for those who prefer or require an alternative.

The Swedish adoption of Peppol follows a growing global trend. Countries such as Belgium, the UAE, and France have all incorporated the Peppol Network as part of their electronic invoicing mandates to enhance the efficiency and interoperability of invoicing systems worldwide.

Comarch Position

Comarch currently uses Peppol and point-to-point connections, as there is no regulatory framework for B2B e-invoicing in Sweden at this time. B2G transactions are handled through Peppol, as the local Svefaktura is essentially a rebranding of Peppol BIS 3.0.
